NAMCO BANDAI Announces a Princely
Roll-Out with Katamari Forever

The Dashing Prince and His
Cousins Heed the Call to Rescue the Stars Once More

NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc.
announces the return of everyone’s favorite Prince in Katamari Forever for the
PLAYSTATION 3. Use the Prince’s katamari to roll up everyday objects in each
level. The more objects that the Prince rolls up, the larger his katamari
becomes, allowing him to roll up bigger items. The Prince faces his toughest
challenge ever as Katamari Forever boasts the largest collection of stages,
modes, songs, and cousins to date. Remixed classic Katamari Damacy tunes, a
brand-new storyline, multiple new visual effects and 1080p graphics round out
Katamari Forever into the ultimate Katamari experience ever.

“Katamari Forever is the pinnacle of
the Katamari series,” said Todd Thorson, director of marketing and public
relations for NAMCO BANDAI Games. “Players will be amazed as they fall into its
universe of addictive gameplay, infectious music, off-beat humor and brand new
changeable graphical styles.”

A terrible event has occurred
causing the stars to disappear from the night sky and the King of All Cosmos to
fall into a coma. The Prince must use his finely tuned Katamari rolling skills
once more to re-create the absent celestial bodies, save his royal father and
restore order to the Cosmos. Thumb tacks, sushi, cats, people, skyscrapers,
ocean liners and continents – nothing is safe as the Prince makes his way
through the largest variety of stages in a single Katamari game ever.

New graphical styles give Katamari
Forever a certain “je ne sais quoi” that all new Katamari games possess. A few
of the new styles include Wood, which uses warm sepia tones to give stages a
wooden feel, while Comic creates thick black outlines on every object while
filling them in with deep, rich colors. Make sure to try them all out and find
your favorite for a totally new way to experience the world of Katamari.

In addition to all these great new
features, Katamari Forever will also contain local cooperative and competitive
multiplayer modes. Choose your favorite cousin and play together or compete in
heated Katamari competition. Who will become the Katamari champion in your
house?
